Aquarium of the Pacific will hold virtual Earth Day event

In honor of Earth Day, April 22, 20, join the Aquarium of the Pacific for its first and highly anticipated virtual Earth Day event. The Aquarium’s Earth Day Celebration will feature special appearances by its animals, themed classes for kids, an evening lecture for adults, and more!

WHAT: This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and the Aquarium of the Pacific is inviting kids and adults at home to join in for its first virtual Earth Day event. You can watch special appearances by the Aquarium’s animal ambassadors, including penguins. For parents looking for educational activities for kids and teens, the Aquarium’s educators will present a variety of Earth Day-themed interactive classes. The Aquarium’s Pacific Pals characters will release a special episode of their show The Daily Bubble to celebrate the special day. Adults are invited to tune in at 7:00 p.m. PDT for a live-streamed lecture hosted by Aquarium President Dr. Jerry Schubel featuring guest speaker Douglas McCauley, an associate professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. McCauley will share how we can all take inspiration, in challenging times, from lessons of resiliency in our ocean and what responsibility we have, on Earth Day, to recommit to protecting ocean health.

The Aquarium has hosted its annual Earth Day Celebration in April, a weekend-long festival featuring booths and activities, for the past twenty years. This year it will use technology to observe Earth Day and provide a way for the public to connect with ocean science while they are at home.
